Tricks and tips to get the very best vacation rental experience:

How to get the best rental home value:

• To book the largest rental within your budget, we strongly suggest booking in Fall or Spring months. You'll benefit from lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at local restaurants, tours, and activities. Many vacationers use this method to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook the holidays for a New Bern vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with friends and family at your favorite beach.
• Reserve your vacation home as early as possible. Rental schedules generally open a year in advance (or in September just after the Summer season ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacation rentals during Thanksgiving and Christmas get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some property management companies offer discounts for veterans. Check with your property manager to see if special offers are available for your group before you book.
• Booking websites frequently offer renters an option to add vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which usually will cost anywhere between 1% - 5% of the stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel stay or extra gasoline expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your property manager for additional information.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply New Bern area visitor guides which often include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship between the management company and the business itself. You can also find New Bern area magazine and coupon books at local shops and grocery stores.

How to pick the best rental in the New Bern area:

• Begin by selecting trip dates and a max budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the bed configuration your family requires. Carolina Dune West! Oceanfront Delight in Emerald Isle, Family & Pet Friendly has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is almost always available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, email the host before you reserve your home. Remember that most listings specify the maximum guest capacity, which oftentimes includes sofa beds and bunks. You'll need to work out what configuration is optimal for your vacation family.
• If there's an individual New Bern destination you are enamored with, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for the less-mobile. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• If your family is vacationing with pets, you will need a pet-friendly vacation rental. Make sure to ask for specifics on breed, weight, and type requirements. Often, property managers charge pet deposits and fees.

Have a wonderful stay:

• Put the manager's information in your smartphone.
• During arrival, note any damages to the rental property and immediately alert the owner. Keep records of all correspondence in case a dispute arises.
• Ask questions. You may want instructions for a fireplace, stereo or WIFI setup. Contact your host. They are there to help! A brief telephone call can prevent many difficulties.
• Be respectful of your neighbors. Frequently, adjacent homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting noise limits and parking regulations reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local resident! Local residents can typically help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to book the best tours, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for bird watching?
• Protect the owner (and your things!) by locking and securing the home while you are out, just like you would back home.
• Re-check the rental property to make sure that you've packed all of your belongings at departure. Make sure to check closets, dressers, garages, and bathrooms for hidden items. Remove everything from the refrigerator and take or dispose of leftovers.
• Go through the property one final time and keep an eye out for damage. We advise walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host isn't available, remember to take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave feedback! Property owners rely on good feedback to stimulate new bookings. They'll be grateful for your review. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other vacationing families will appreciate that you share your feedback find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
